yeah those! my new tank is 6 feet long, are those reef safe with other fish, and such, and what do they eat?

[Tangster]

A remora sucker fish is not safe enough for my tank they get large I have snagged a few while shark fishing and I myself have had them as long as 3 to 4 feet mostly 2 to 3 ft is average and a small one is like 12 to 18 inches .. You do under stand that life style of that fish spices do you not ?

They suck on to a shark for a free ride and when a shark finds a feed he will hit and chomp and these suckers pop off to grab the chum the shark makes they eat meat .. But hey its your tank and a 6 ft tank ain't that large.. 750 is about where I'd consider to keep one in..
